A group of nine of us from Tucson stayed overnight at Noftsger Hill Inn on March 31, 2007 while visiting Globe for the centennial celebration. It was the first time for all of us. We walked into the building, and all of us were stunned. Sixteen-foot ceilings, antiques and memorabilia everywhere, historical photographs, and beautiful decor in a charming 13,000-square-foot brick and stucco elementary school built in 1907. The HUGE school rooms have been converted into tastefully decorated HUGE bedroom suites with multiple beds and sitting areas with sofas and easy chairs. All but one bedroom have a private bath. There are currently six bedrooms with four more under construction. A delicious elegant breakfast prepared in the modern kitchen was served in the spacious dining room that was chock full of antique dishes, crystal, utensils, and kitchenware. The building is surrounded by large lovely garden areas with lounge seating and picnic tables. A worn-out vintage mini-school bus guards one outside area. The views from the second-floor windows were awesome. The prices at Noftsger Hill Inn are incredibly reasonable. Owner/operator Rosalie Ayala set out 7 years ago to let her guests be able to “sleep in class.” She has truly succeeded. This amazing place has to be one of the most unique historical B&B’s in the United States.
